Publisher's Summary

Every hundred years, tradition dictates that all eligible females in Sweetwater assemble for the choosing ceremony. Two vampire kings have separate territories within the surrounding countryside. Both are eager to pick their future brides. What a waste of her freaking time. Tanya is among the many women at the choosing ceremony. As far as she's concerned it's an outdated, sexist event and if it wasn't mandatory she so wouldn't be here. It's not important that the two males are ridiculously rich and handsome. Deep down she knows a plain Jane like her will never be picked by one of the kings anyway. Many of the women in the town square are stunningly beautiful and model thin. Most seem enthusiastic about being a queen even if it means being mated to a blood sucker, which suits her just fine. 

Imagine her surprise though when King Brant sets his sights firmly on her. Once a vampire king has decided, there's no going back. But her home is in Sweetwater. Being forced to live among the vampire species... big gulp... forced to mate with a vampire... is not what she had in mind for herself. Maybe she can convince him to let her go, to pick again. If not, she'll have to find a way to escape his - very muscled and rather delicious - clutches. Contains mature themes.

mostly great

I really enjoyed the story. I liked where it went and thought it was a nice change to the usual story. I didn't however love the narrator. She was a bit flat and sometimes talked a little like a computer eg. siri. Apart from that it was quite enjoyable.

Vampire freaking sandwich 😋

Anyone who takes issues with the whole 'i have you both but you can't have anyone else' thing needs to look up a thorough definition of 'polyamory' because this is a good example of it. Excluding the obvious case of being forced into the situation, their relationship is all about communication, honesty, compromise and boundaries.
I do take issue with the language of the non-humans. Definitely too much use of the word 'pussy' (in both a sexual context as well as a derogatory context), but using it along side terms like 'rut' and 'mammary glands' makes absolutely no sense.
The narrator was painful but I found that listening to it at 0.90x speed helped to make it only noticeable every 20 words instead of every 2. I did find the character voices dynamic enough most of the time though.

this was the hardest book to get through ever

this is the most fickle heroine I have ever read! she thinks 1 way but does the opposite.. the title should have the called the insatiable chosen.....I was frustrated nearly all the way through. what kept me reading was the plot....it had a good line and I kept reading to see if my assumptions were correct....it didn't sit well with me safe to say I'm not a reader of the direction this book took.
Her characters showed depth and intrigue but quickly faded to change, concede, or become completely sex induced.
it took forever to finish with scenes and thoughts changing constantly.
not a fan and will be returning
